F#m Take me backwards C#m G# Turn me around C#m I cannot find my balance on the ground A This world is too heavy B C#m For a feather falling quickly And I wrote your story But I'm afraid of how it ends And though my friends are doing well And I'm still on the mend Chorus: E B I'm going to lay back down A Hope the wind takes me around G# I gotta find some courage in this town E B Cause nobody's going to save A Somebody who won't change G# I tried to be brave And nothing's coming easy, and all at once I feel a little queasy Oh, but if your love's my remedy Won't you please come and be with me? It's not like there's much better Nobody's grass is as green as mine I can't say that I'm satisfied Three thousand miles from your kiss goodbye Chorus: I'm going to lay back down Hope the wind takes me around I gotta find some courage in this town F#m E And everybody's afraid C#m F#m Cause chances come from change E And everybody's afraid C#m A Cause chances come from breaking C#m A G#m And chances are you're breaking open Chorus: I'm going to lay back down Hope the wind takes me around I gotta find some courage in this town 'Cause nobody's going to save Somebody who won't change It's time to be brave | TransposeReset Font sizeReset Ukulele Chord DiagramsA  C#m  E  F#m  G#  G#m  B  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each ukulele chord used in the song.
